"Poems about the Beautiful Lady" - one of the best creations of Alexander Alexandrovich.
Feeling of L. Mendeleeva
The cycle of interest to us was created under the influence ofthe feelings that Blok felt for Lubov Mendeleeva, who in the future became his wife. Boblovo, Mendeleev's estate, was located near Shakhmatov, the family estate of Alexander Alexandrovich. Thanks to this, he could often see his future wife. On the photo below - Block with L. Mendeleyeva.
The influence of V. Solovyov's teachings
Интересующий нас сборник создан также под the influence of V. Solovyov's doctrine of eternal femininity. According to this philosopher, the Eternal Feminine can reconcile the heavenly and earthly, divine and worldly. Thanks to her the soul of the poet is renewed. The feeling that A. Blok experienced to L. Mendeleeva was rethought by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich in the spirit of the teachings about the world soul of Plato and about the Eternal Feminine, acting as an imperishable divine principle.
Position Solovyov fully consistent with the opinionThe block of this period. The philosopher looks at Eternal Femininity as a phenomenon having a cosmic scale. The poet also sees in his beloved the embodiment of the divine principle. We can judge this by letters addressed to Lyubov Mendeleeva. These views of Alexander Alexandrovich and determined the general nature of his poetic cycle called "Poems about the Beautiful Lady". In these poems, the heroine of the cycle is a mystical, incomprehensible image ("Holy," Virgo "," Incomprehensible "). Sometimes this is also a real woman who has specific features: tall, slim, always arrogant and stern.
Mystic halo
Mystical halo marked collection of poems aboutThe beautiful lady (block). An analysis of it makes it possible to notice that the feeling of unreality of everything that happens is reinforced by poetic epithets, such as in a quiet backwater, unknown shadows, a white dress. They surround the sense of the author with a mystical halo. The love of the lyrical hero turns into the poetry of halftones, symbols, hints. This feeling is a state of mind. It simultaneously compels the lyrical hero to survive and captivates him. Alexander Alexandrovich refers to the symbol that translates the perception from the world of real-specific things into a mysterious, incomprehensible, dimly guessed world. This view of art determined the general symbolic character of the cycle of interest to us.
"The girl sang in the church choir ..."
Let's turn to this poem by conductinggeneral analysis of Blok's poems. "Poems about the Beautiful Lady" - a cycle, one of the most famous works of which is it. This poem is filled with the following symbols: "white dress", "white shoulder" and a shining beam on it, "voice flying into the dome." In this work, the epithet "white" emphasizes the feeling of peace, peace, silence, emanating from the voice of the heroine, which is characterized as "flying into the dome." The girl sings about the ships that went into the sea, about people in a strange land, about those who have forgotten their joy. The ending of this poem is mystical. He does not leave us a feeling of happiness. Block writes that the child, "a participant in the mysteries," wept that no one would come back.
"I enter dark temples ..."
We continue the analysis of Blok’s verses."Poems about the Beautiful Lady" - a cycle in which many interesting works are presented. One of them - "I enter ...". This work of Alexander Alexandrovich was created in 1902. It is the central work of the cycle "Poems about the Beautiful Lady" (Block). An analysis of the poems included in it reveals some interesting features. In particular, in the work under consideration, the lyrical hero only imagines the image of the "Eternal Wife", the stately Beautiful Lady. It is a symbol of true love. However, the lyrical hero is waiting for a meeting with Mila, and is also afraid of his own feelings.
Cycle "Prosperity"
The cycle "Prosperity", created in the period from 1902 to1904, closes the book "Poems about the Beautiful Lady" (Block). His analysis allows us to note that it stands as if it stands apart from other works of the book. In these poems of Blok there is a motive of confusion, anxiety. The lyrical hero has thoughts that finding harmony in real life is impossible. The attention of the author switches to contemporary reality. He depicts a real city, he is interested in the mysticism of passion and nature.
The Trilogy of Incarnation
The first volume of this cycle is mainly"Poems about the Beautiful Lady". Blok, whose analysis of poems is being conducted by many researchers in our time, has independently prepared his collection for publication. He distributed it into 3 books, combining them under the title The Trilogy of Incarnation. At the same time, other topics are outlined in the first volume. This is a connection with "everyday life", social issues ("From newspapers", "A child is crying ...", "Factory", etc.). The motive of the “end of the world” arises, as the analysis of Blok’s verses shows. "Poems about the Beautiful Lady" are filled with new motifs. The modern city, full of shadows, werewolves, ghosts, reminds the reader of the Apocalypse painting. The crying child is not needed by anyone, women are thrown out of the windows ... Despite the fact that these poems present an abundance of realistic details, the author still retains their symbolist essence. In the work “Factory”, black and yellow (“someone’s black”, “the windows are yellow”, etc.) symbolize the essence of people who are endowed with money and power. They turn out to be spiritless. A poet who hears everything "from his peak" does not participate in what is happening.
